Abstract

A bicycle pedal comprises a central block combined with an upper block settled thereon and with a lower block settled thereunder. The central block, the upper block and the lower block are all formed in one piece, respectively. Further, the upper block and the lower block are identical in shape and have the same features because they are formed by means of an identical mold. The central block has an axial bolt tube and two stepping portions. The upper block and the lower block each provides a receiving portion, a plurality of ribs and two stepping portions. Thereby, when the receiving portions engage the axial bolt tube, the stepping portions of the central block, the upper block and the lower block can be combined as a stepping frame by means of a plurality of fastening components.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to bicycle pedals and, more particularly, to a bicycle pedal having an easily molded and easily fabricated structure.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional one-piece bicycle pedal. The one-piece bicycle pedal comprises a stepping frame and an axial tube traversing the stepping frame through the center thereof. The axial tube is provided for receiving bearings and an axial shaft. Thereby, an external threaded portion formed at one end of the axial shaft can be coupled to an end of a crank of a bicycle. However, due to, some technical limitations, such as mold making, forming and mold parting, a conventional one-piece pedal typically has a simple structure and is only capable of providing a simple function of driving a bicycle crank when being pedaled. However, this may cause some weaknesses of such one-piece pedal, such as the changeless shape and color as well a...
